Pumpkin Carving

This week at my doctor appointment, I was telling my doctor that I had been having the same types of feelings that I did when I went into labor with Zane. She told me that I am now far enough along that if I went into labor they wouldn't stop it! I immediately went into panic mode! So we have spent this week thinking of what needs done before Bobby makes his debut into the world! I have been trying to prepare at school and at home. Zane was 12 days early so you never know...we could have a family of four in another few weeks! In case you're wondering just how much Bobby has grown, here's a belly picture of me. Isn't Zane a great helper!

34 weeks pregnant...only 6 to go!

It was a rainy, yucky week! It sure did green our yard up, which meant Matt had to mow yet again this weekend. I would think we'd soon be done with that! This weekend was a busy one for us. Matt's been working on the basement. He's now to the point that he's ready for someone to come in and do the electrical work, so he's been getting bids on that. As soon as that's done, we will be ready for sheetrock! We headed out to look for furniture this weekend and found some pieces we really liked. We need to be getting all of those things figured out/ordered so they can all be here when needed!

We also worked on getting the carpet in Bobby's room shampooed. It looks so good in there now! I have a long list of things that need washed/cleaned, so am starting to tackle that list as I have time. This afternoon we decided to carve our pumpkins that we got last week. We ended up carving two and putting stickers/props on the other two. Here are some pictures of us working on the pumpkins. I have a video also, but for some reason I can't get it to upload tonight, so I'll try again tomorrow.

Zane was full of cute sayings today! Here are a few things that caught us off guard and made us smile:

This morning at church, Zane was eating some fruit loops cereal. He was chewing very loud and we kept asking him to please close his mouth and chew quietly. He misunderstood us and said "I choke. Watch." So then he proceeded to try to swallow a fruit loop whole to show us that he HAD to chew them or he would choke! I had to demonstrate for him what we meant...to chew with his mouth closed!

After Matt was finished carving his pumpkin, Zane looked at it and said "Oh Dad, you're good. You bood boy (good boy)."

I brought Zane inside after carving pumpkins and told him we could look at the pictures and video on the computer. After watching the video, he swiped his hand across his forehead and said "Whew! I got hot working on the pumpkins!"

Zane was in the kitchen helping Matt make some popcorn and he was trying to tell Matt something or other. When Matt wasn't paying full attention to him, he said "Dad, you not being a good listener. You not listening to me!"

We hope you all have a great week! Check out our other photos:
